We have one of the newest buildings on campus that was designed specially for Earth and Climate Sciences teaching and research. Our graduate students share good-sized offices with natural lighting, and there are a number of common use facilities such as a computer cluster, laser printers, and photocopying. The building is bright inside and there is a large atrium-style area on the second floor for socializing or study. We also have a number of modern laboratory facilities for chemical, physical, and computational data collection and analysis.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column11914_1e466d-67 >

Spring through fall the grounds are alive with flowers and gardens, and there are miles of running and walking trails. In the winter the University maintains these trails for cross-country classic and skate skiing. In 2007 construction was completed on the $25 million Campus Recreation Center, which is not only the largest building on campus but also achieved Silver Certification under the LEED green buildings program. The student union has a variety of food choices, the library has a large holding of Earth and Climate Sciences material, and there is graduate student housing on campus for those interested. The small town of Orono has a relaxed atmosphere, and offers several pubs and restaurants. Nearby Bangor has an airport, retail shops, a diverse array of pubs and restaurants, and annually hosts the American Folk Festival.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column11914_7d86ae-83 >
